Current Research and Scholarly Interests
My projects focus on clinical research in newborns with, or at risk, for brain injury. I use EEG in at-risk neonates to better understand the underlying pathophysiology of risk factors that may lead to worse outcomes. I am particularly interested in neonatal seizures and how they may exacerbate perinatal brain injury with a goal to identify treatments that might protect the vulnerable brain. I am also interested in EEG in other pediatric populations, as well as medical ethics and global health.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests
Research in our lab focuses on mechanisms of epigenetic regulation in differentiation and development. In particular, we are studying the function of histone modifying enzymes in embryonic stem cell self-renewal and in early cell fate decisions. We are interested in the role of chromatin modifications in establishment and maintenance of gene expression patterns during normal and pathological development, and in nuclear reprogramming.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests
I am interested in the biological process of RNA transcript and translation regulation, specifically by the regulation of no-coding RNA, stochastic gene expression and RNA structures.
